问题      There is controversy and misunderstanding about the proper functions of juvenile courts and their probation departments. There are cries that the whole process produces delinquents rather than rehabilitates them. There are speeches by the score about "getting enough" with the kids. Another large group thinks we should be more understanding and gentle with delinquents. This distrust of the services offered can be attributed in large part to the confusion in the use of these services throughout the country.
     On the one hand, the juvenile courts are tried to the criminal court system, with an obligation to decide guilt and innocence for offenses specifically stated and formally charged. On the other, they have the obligation to provide treatment, supervision and guidance to youngsters in trouble, without respect to the crimes of which they are accused. These two conflicting assignment must be carried out——quite properly——in an informal, private way, which will not stigmatize a youngster during his formative years.
     And, as the courts’ preoccupation with the latter task has increased, the former (that of dispensing justice) has retreated, with the result grave injustices are bound to occur.
The title below that best expresses the ideas of this passage is _________.
选项 A、Grave Injustices
B、A Problem for Today’s Teenagers
C、Rehabilitating Youthful Criminal
D、Justice for Juvenile Offenders
答案D
解析 本题要求考生通读全文后，对文章的主题思想进行概括。从四个选项来看，D表述了文中所述两个部分最重要的功能，所以它最能体现出文章的中心大意。因此，正确答案为D。
